SHILLONG, DEC 2: Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma has said the Congress is “internally divided” and doesn’t need external help to be divided
“To be very blunt, nobody needs to work to divide them as they are already divided,” Sangma told reporters on Tuesday while responding to Congress chief Vincent H Pala’s allegation that the proposed united Northeast front is backed by the BJP to divide anti-saffron forces in the region.
Sangma also alleged that the Congress has internal differences and separate plans.
“So the Congress is completely divided within. You have differences. They may be sitting on the same table and talking but internally they have their own plan separately,” he said while revealing, “We are quite in touch with many of them to be very frank. So, it is an internally divided house already. They don’t need us to further divide them as such. So, it is quite unfortunate the MPCC president has made a comment like that.”
Sangma emphasized that his party, the NPP, is focused on unity and serving the people, rather than fighting against others.
“For us as a party, we are very clear and we have said it very openly that we are not here to fight against anybody or neither we are here to oppose anybody, we are here from a positive perspective to unify and send the message of unity of the region as a whole. We have always stress that we believe that the North East states and communities must work together in the larger interest of the region because when it comes to political space it is only when we are united and present a united front that is the only way we are able to ensure that we carry our message across and always serve our people in a much better manner,” he said adding “We are here to give a positive message, to unify and send the message of unity of the region as a whole.”
The chief minister stressed the importance of Northeast states working together and presenting a united front to achieve their goals and serve their people better.
